After completing Elements A, B, and C - going through the process of finding our problem, justifying it, and doing research to prepare for brainstorming - we created a presentation. We used the website Canva to condense all of our research and information, making it easy for outside parties to understand. We also practiced our presentation to make sure we effectively communicated what our goal was. We donned business attire and presented to a panel of knowledgeable teachers and administrators on November 14th, 2022.

Additional Notes and Comments
Additional Notes and Comments
Lungu: Great overall presentation and problem to solve if done right. I look forward to the actual product presentation and ideas which come out.
Martin: Great presentation but consider if another water bottle is needed or if a supplemental product might be better (water reminder device, water flavoring system, water consumption tracker, etc.) might be a better solution than a water bottle. Narrow down the scope of the problem too.
Spell: Spelling : project on first slide and adaptive on criteria slide. You present well, please include constraints as much as you do criteria. Also check into actual patent data.
